Description

Death and Religion: The Basics provides a thorough and accessible introduction to dying, death, grief, and conceptions of the afterlife in world religions.

It leads readers through considerations of how we understand meanings of death and after-death, and the theories and practices attached to these states of being, with recourse to various religious worldviews: Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Chinese Religions, and Native American belief systems. This inter-religious approach provides a rich, dynamic survey of varying and evolving cultural attitudes to death. Topics covered include:

  • Religious perspectives of the good death

  • Grief, bereavement, and mourning

  • Stages and definitions of death

  • Burial, cremation, and disposition

  • Remembrance rituals

  • Religious theories of the afterlife

  • Death and technology
